Selecting the right bed can feel like a Herculean task at times with all the different choices that exist. Adjustable beds are a great option for people who need relief from health issues or just for extra comfort. Adjustable beds have remotes that allow you to raise and lower your head and feet to suit your needs. King-size adjustable beds have the most flexibility in adjustment options. If you are thinking of getting a king-size adjustable bed then you now have the choice between Split or Divided.
What is a Split King?
King-sized beds are, at the risk of stating the obvious, quite large. Mattresses are flexible. Foundations, however, are not. To get the base foundation inside your home it comes in two parts that sit side-by-side under the mattress. A Split King adjustable bed allows each side of the bed to move independently. It’s ideal for people who have different sleep needs. The foundations can also be synced together if you don’t need or want the sides to be adjusted separately.
What is a Divided King?
Until recently, if you wanted independent adjustment for both sides of your bed you needed to order a Split King. For people who prefer both sides of the bed to adjust in tandem, there is now the option to buy a Divided King. A Divided King has a foundation that is still made up of two parts, but in this case, it goes under the head and foot of the bed. This setup is more efficient than a synced-up Split King, it removes the redundancy of having two separate motor systems to move your bed, which means a lower cost for you.
Conclusion
If you prefer independent adjustment from your partner then a Split King is what you are looking for. If separate movement isn’t necessary then you can save money with a Divided King.
